Played a 4BBB match recently and one of the oppos had the hump about where I was stood while he was getting ready to take his shot. To me it doesn't matter as long as your stood still. Is there an accepted or good etiquette place to stand ?
No not at all. I was stood behind as in looking down his line but he insisted I stand to the side . Idk really , I wasn't even in his peripheral view. Idm playing people like this as they let silly things bother them.I think it’s down to personal preference. I don’t like it if someone’s stood behind me and would rather they stood in front or to the right. Think I’m worried about hitting them. This is purely on the tee box where it’s a bit tighter for space, on the course it doesn’t really matter as long as they’re not within swing range.
If someone asked me nicely to stand somewhere else I’d do it as everyone’s different and has their own reasons.
Edit - seen the other replies, have I been?
I’d be fine with that and to be honest I think that’s what most people do so that they can help keep an eye in your ball!No not at all.

I know people who are bothered by all sorts of on course stuff.As long as they aren’t stood too close I couldn’t care less.
How do people cope if there is a tree (insert other objects if required) in their eye line?
Or god forbid a bird tweeting on your backswing.
Yeah same I always try and keep an eye on the ball. Unless they turn away in disgust one to many times and don't look themselvesI’d be fine with that and to be honest I think that’s what most people do so that they can help keep an eye in your ball!
Move. But anyone who asks someone to move as long as they arent too close, is an unreasonable oik. Dont play with them again.If someone stands where you're not comfortable, a polite request to move is harmless.
An expletive might mean a less than convivial rest of round!![]()
